1 certifv, that, between the 5th and 17tb
of May, 1818, whilst at fort Gadsden, on
the Appslachicota river, I was informed by
a Mr. I.arua, and Heneto G^sea, both
citizens of, and at that time, direct from
Pensacola, that at the time of the departure
thence, there were 500 Indians in anil
about Peosacola; and, 1 further certify,
that, on my arrival at Pensacola, on the
25d of May, I was informed by Mr Streets,
and other citizens of that place, that on
the 22d, which was the slay before my ar
rival, Holmes, (a noted Red stick) with
his party, had left Pensacola to proceed to
the Choctawhatchy, for safety, having been
fur several days previous in town-
All which 1 certify on honor,
William Hambly.
Witness, Wro. S. Fulton, private secre
t-try to commanding general.
I do hereby certify, that during my
long residence on the river Appalachicola,
my knowledge of the Indian language, and
my intimate acquaintance with the differ
ent chiefs, gave me many opportunities of
knowing, through them, the advices given
them from lime to.time, by the governors
of West Florida, hostile to the United
States. In the year t8l2or 1813,1 saw
•t letter-from the governor of Pensacola tu
the late chief of the Serainoles, Thomas
Perryman, advising him to collect his for
ces, and jciti his upper town brethren,
who, he said bad come to a determination
to rise in arms, and sliaKc oft’ the Ameri
can yoke; he would supply them in arms
and ammunition, and lie said be was sutc
tnat in less than a month their fathers and
protectors, tne Spaniards, woo til have a
-i-ifficient army in the field to aid aiul|
protect them- Not .long after! s.tw .tliisi
letter, a large paeiy <d -.Indians went down;
“} Pensacola, where they received a large;
supply of ammunition and some arms. It
was but shortly after this, when they at
tacked and destroyed the garrison ol Fort
Mims. This was tlie commencement of
tlie first Indian war. Gil the 13lli ol De
cember last, when at my plantation on the
Appalachicola,,! was made a prisoner by a
party «l Seminole Jndiai^s, and wps taken-
up to the ■Ocimsee Bluff’, in company with-
Mr. Doyle, wlio.was made a prisoner with-
me. They kept us here three, days, il tir
ing which "time they w-cre buisly engaged;
with some transports, which were then as-;
sending the .river to Fort Scott. From'
thence they-took us tu tl-.e Mickasukv,
when the Indians iuformed ipe that they
had been told by the commandant of St.
Marks, that war was declared between;
Spain anil the United States. Frqm this;
place we were carried^ to the Suwaney,
when Kenliager, principal chief of the Seini-
noles,told tne, that tve had beei taken and;
robbed by ordor.of Arbutlinot, and brought;
there to be tried by him. Shortly alter.
»ve, reached this, Arbutlinot arrived from-
Providence,-when we were tried, and..gen-
fenced by.said Arbutlinot to be tortured.
This sentence .was not put into execution,,
(ro'ii the friendly iu*crftrence of Mr. Conk,
clerk to Arbutlinot, ami tlie negro chief
Nero. We were then conducted back tr,
the Mick;isuky9. Then Kenliager .went’
down to the fort of St. Marks, to consul
the commandant 'if he .would take us as-
prisoners, to be held at iiis order. They,
held a council among the neighboring
chiefs, and on the fifth day lie returned,
and ordered us to be conducted down next
morning. We arrived at St. Marks on.
tne U2tli of;February at night; the Spaiusi-.
nfikers received us kindly, but the com
mandant did not forget, to remind us, that
we'were still prisoners, anti marked out
that night tiie limits of our prison, which,
they rigidly kept during the time of our
stay. Next morning, the first tiling that
presented itself to my-view was.my sad
dle Imrse, which had been taken, from me
by the Indians; Sc was in the possession of
the commissary. I mentioned it !o the.
commandant, but he said that lie bought
liiin of an ilndian, and lie could do no
thing in it. A few days after, is the'
course of conversation, 1 mentioned it to
the. Spanish doctor; he assured uie that
two thirds of the prypertv taken from,us
l;y the Indians had been bought by .the
commissary, and others, in the fort. The
pluudered.property taken from Georgia
was every day readily, bought by. the-com
mandant and olners. .1 .knew one.in
stance of an"imliau ..making on engage
ment with tlie commandant fur cattle that
he was then going to plunder, anti in >14
or 15 days lie brought thc.su in ami sold
them. On our first arrival at St. Murks,’
we had, by the help of a friendly Indian,’
conveyed intelligence to ,our Irie.nds in
Pensacola of our situation, and they sent;
us on a small vessel to effect Qur escape.
At her arrival, tne commandant said to us^
that lie had no objections to opr getting
out of the. power of the Indians, but that
he should first demand a written obliga
tion that we should never return to that
country, nor fioid communication, directly
or indirectly, avitli the.United States!
government,.or any of lift-officers. Tins
being settled, we.felt'St. .Marks on the
night of the.28th March, and joined cap
tain M-Keever in bis gun boats, m the bay
of .Appalachicola, on the,50th ultimo, re
turned with him to St., Marks, ■ where we
joined general Jackson on the 6th of April.

Sir—After the occupancy of fort Saint
Marks with American troops on the 7th
April last, it became my duty tu take
charge of some goods found in oue of the
public stores.
These goods were pointed out by the
Spanish commandant, who, through Mr.
^Hambly, as interpreter, seperated several
of the articles, cUimcd as his own private
property, and designated ot..ers as the
propeity of Francis, or ijillis -Hago, ami
Arbutlinot, a British agent or nailer.: an
inventory of .the these were taken, a,nti de-.
posited with the,American officer -left in
command at fort St. Maiks. With res
pect, etc, I). E. Ttvioos,
Bvt. major 7th iiitioury.
I certify that I acted as interpreter in
the transaction above all oiled to, and two
separate parcels of goods were designated
by the Spanish commandant of St. Marks
as belonging to Hillis iiagn and Arbuth

Fort .GaiUiUn, May 22il, 1818.
Sir: We beg leave tp submit to you the
following .statiMucut of facts. On tlie.l5ih
December, >1-817,'we were violently torn
from uur settlements on the AppalaciiicoD.
river by a.number of Indians,’beaded by
‘.'li<nubby,a.cluef-.fruiii the Futv.l Town,
tribe, carried.to Mickasuky and delivered
to Krnhajah, king of the Mickasuk-iaiis.—
K-i nliajah carried us to the Negro towns
on Suwany, and tiience to the.Spanisji lor
at St. Murks, to file commandant of which
lie delivered.us as prisoners captured un
der the orders of a Mr. Arbutlinot, rrpor
ted to ttsos a British agent. At St. Marks
we were treated as prisoners, and,not per-;
milted to wapdcribejond t(ie walls of tin
garrison.
Whilst at that post, the ingress and egres;
of the Indians, hostile tu tlecdJpited States
was unrestrained, and several cuuuci’.s
were JvSM, .at one of .which, .(lanhajah,'
King of the MidcasukUins, Francis orilil-
lis Hugo, Ilumatlilciiieco, the chief of A:i-
tcase?, ami the chief of the Holcmics, ali
of the old red stick party, and Jack Mealy,
chief of the Hr.hewas, were present.
When.it was reported tjwit .the chiefs,
and that warriors were euteting Fort St
Marks,.for the.purpose of holding a coun
cil, Hambly represented to the .comman
dant the impropriety of permitting such
proceedings wVtiiin’the walls,of a Spanish
fortress, the officer of whieli.was bound to
preserve and enfoirtW the treaties existing'
between the king of Spain and Hie .United
States: lie replied to .Handily, with some
degree of.ivar'tntli, observing, that ;t was
not in his power to prevent it. On the In
dians coining into the fort, at tliqir request
we were coiifiueil.;The council was .held
in the commandant's quarters: lie, the com
mandui.fi waspcesqjtt, bat strictly forbade
the-inti-ashm-of ary of the nffitrers of the
garrison.
. The Indians, were In the habit uf driving
to Fort St. ‘.tlarkg, and disposing of cattle
to-the commandant and other-Spanish offi
cers. While at that postj tlirce or four
droves were brought ill, acknowledged bv
tlie lmlians to have been stolen (rum the,
citizens of the Untied Staley, and purchas
ed by the Spanisli officers.
We were.present at most of these con
tracts, and llalnbly often referred to, as an
iuterpietvr between the purclmscrand sel
ler. *
Chennbby, a Fowl town .Indian, ouce
applied-to.ilanibiy to mention to the com
mandant, that lie was about visiting tin
frontiers of Georgia, on a plundering expe
dition, and wished to know whether lie-
would purchase tip' c:;tlle brought in.. A
contract was entered into; and Chenubby
soon afterfirought in and disposed of ele
ven bead of cattle to the Spanish comman
dant of Fort St. Mark*.
These same cattle were those purchased
by yon from the corny:.!mldiit as his pri
vale property. . Wm. Hamjjly.

Sir: In conversation with .the r.nrnman-
tiant.cf Fort Bt. Marks, on the subject oi
having that work occupieil bran Atnerican
garrisont l bad occasion-to notice the aid
and comfort that tire hostile party of In
dians had recrived.as reported .from him:
that they had Irec acccss.within the wails
of his fort, ami that it-was uell known no
small supplies of guimunitimi had beemre
ceived frtim that'rtoarter.
In repl/lie.st{itttd c tljat Ujs conduct had
been governed by r polity; - the defenceless
state of his work, and the. weakness of bis
garrison compelled him to conciliate the
friendship ol the Indians, tu supply their
wants, to grant what he.had.not ttie power
to deny, and to tnrow open, with apparent
willingness, the ga.tys.ol his fortress, lest
they should be torced by violence.
l hat be hadfieen repeatedly, threatened
by Indians muLiu-groes, and tbaVhis secu-
rity oepended upon exhibiting an exter;
nai inejpUhip. Alter Fort St.JiJarks was
occupi.ed by-the American troops, a black
man arid Spanish soldier yas'-reported t«i
tn^as haring been artested, dad. in-- the
Actericau uniform, ref-ognized as part ol
the clothes of the 4tb ami 7tli regiments,
captured in the boat commanded by It.
Scott, in ascending the Appalachicola ri
ver. ,
In explanation, the commandant observ
ed, that his soldiers and tlie Seminole In
dians were in the habit of trailing with each
other, ami that this negro, with others of
his garrison, had received his permission
to purchase some clothing reported to have
been brought in by tbe Indians.

Sir; The Seminole war having terminat
ed, I deem it politic and advisable tpsphd
to Wasingtou John Blunt and his Indian
comrades, who have acted as pilots to me
during the iaie campaign. John Blunt is a
Tuckahachee Indian, has long been fri.end-
ly to tlie United States,and in consequence
of bis opposition to the Red Stick party,
during the Creek war, has drawn down
upon himself their vengeance during the
late conteid, His settlement being in an
exposed situation on the Appalaehicoi’
river, he was .early attacked by the Seim-
iioles, his property destroyed, and his Fa
mily-railed from him. Alone he escaped,
and fled to Fort Scott; where, joining the
American standard, he has proved himself
a mostzealuos friend and faithful pilot,
to this period. In justice to him, I am
boy dj .to state, that to bis .correct .k.notv-
ledg-e of the country, ahd zealoug attach
ment to the cause in .which we were engag
ed, am f measurably indebted for the suc
cess tif the present .camps.igp.
Mr. Hambly accompanies John B'unt.
Mr. H. is a Spanish subject by birth and
has long been a resident as a trailer,, on
the Appalachicola ri'- er. In consequence
of his attachment to the American cause,
ami his active exertions to check the hos
tile feelings of those Indians, disposed
war against the United Stales, lie drew
down upon himself and family their ven
geance. He-was forcibly taken from hi
house at an early .period' of the ,war, his
property, goods” and negroes taken from
hilp; and he violently transported from
Mifkjisuky, Suwany and St. M.-uks, until
finally relieved by captain M-Keevcr, of
the American navy. Since that period lie
lias been attaclied to inyamy as Indian in
terpreter. I ou will find him an honest
and faithful triqnd to oqr goyer.ninent,.and
valuaitie fol- the .information w hich he can
afford of Spanish policy and intrigue. 11'
